Now that that's all out of the way, while I found the premiere episode a bit subpar from a humor standpoint, and the half-hour format really makes the "mission" plots too rushed, there are a couple things that I think will appeal to fans here.

The first is that three of the characters (fully half the cast) are unabashed Trekkies. Christian Slater should be obvious since he's a Trekkie in real life, and his team leader Oz actually owns Captain Kirk's chair from TOS and conducts meetings from it (while telling Harrison's character Cameron he can't sit in the chair). He acquired the chair by doing a job for William Shatner, who was being stalked by Alphonso McAuley's character Cash in full Trek regalia. Cash dresses up as Spock and Han Solo, goes to cons, wears genre t-shirts, and spouts frequent inside references when he's not hazing the new guy.

The other reason some here might want to check it out is that Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum returns with all his hair as the douchebaggy Hummer-driving boyfriend of Odette Yustman's Melanie / other end of an obvious future love triangle with Cameron. He has a job selling clean urine to people taking drug tests.

The premise of the show is essentially a wackier version of the security testing company in 'Sneakers,' with similar character tropes (though a much younger cast). There's the enigmatic team leader, the young hacker, the intelligence guy, the safe-cracker, etc. They recruit or blackmail minor criminals and flakes into working for the group to test the security of various corporations. The first mission involves testing the security of a high end car dealership by stealing a car, and of course things go wrong and hi-larity ensues.

As I said, the show is a bit rushed in the half-hour format, to the point where the mission is shown happening through a series of flash forwards as the characters were still mapping out the plan. For people who enjoy the technical aspects of such shows, there's not much to see here. Unfortunately it also failed to really bring a lot of laughs (the Trekkie/Star Wars stuff was fun, though), but that could be a result of having a large cast to introduce in the premiere episode. I'll give it another shot next week to see how the show does with a less exposition-heavy episode.

Apparently he was only supposed to be a guest star originally, but they liked his character and performance so much that they decided to make him a regular, so maybe he'll get more face time from now on.

Oh I didn't notice this before. I honestly didn't think anybody but me would bother with the show.

I'll watch it for Christian Slater and Bret Harrison (I miss Reaper ), and hope that they expand the premise, which is pretty thin at this point. I like the black nerd/Han Solo/Ensign Psycho and whoah, is that Michael Rosembaum as a redneck?

I don't mind the half-hour format. It didn't seem like it ended too quickly, in fact, the freneticness is downright tiring.

This show is definitely a case of shallow, unimaginative writing being propped up by genuine comic talents in the cast. I'll stick with it on the hopes that, even if the writing never improves, it will give the cast more material to work with, and at least they can provide the entertainment value. Introducing Slater's frakked up marriage is a good step. The more backstory the characters get, the more the actors have to work with. The missions themselves are uninteresting.

I don't get why we should care about Bret chasing his co-worker. He doesn't have any chemistry with her, it's just not something to root for, unless they make Rosenbaum more of a dirtbag, which would push the writing even more in the direction of cliche, which isn't the direction they should be going in. Also, if she has a dirtbag boyfriend, she should dump his ass, and if she doesn't, it's because she's an idiot and then why would we want Bret to be stuck with a stupid girlfriend? Chuck and Sarah, this ain't.

I think Rosenbaum has been upgraded to defacto regular? If he has been, that's a good sign that the producers are on the ball. With the thin writing, this show really needs all the scene stealers it can get.

[LEFT]brett harrison was great on reaper loved that show wished it got picked up for a third season oh well. as for this new show got caught up on hulu and now I have set it to my DVR and michael look so weird with hair. did'nt even realize that was him.[/LEFT]

The second ep was funny...the show is fast paced which is good but it doesn't leave alot of room for character development which can be done in a 30 minute format if the story is written right. I'd like to see a full season of this...but based on 2 eps...feels pretty shallow at this point.

I love the fact that they threw in a lot of star trek on the pilot which was. and then they used highland and star wars refrences which was awesome. I am looking forward to tonight. this has great potiental.
